Two Years With the Fujifilm X100V Mirrorless Camera

Typically, I am not a fan of fixed prime lens cameras, but the Fujifilm X100 series was the exception that won my heart. With its distinctive, engaging, and highly effective design, the X100 series cameras have garnered considerable respect throughout the photography community. The X100V has been with us for about two years now. Can it still compete with the latest options? This excellent video review takes a look. 

Coming to you from Gordon Laing, this great video review takes a look at the Fujifilm X100V after two years of usage. Despite my usual indifference toward fixed prime lens cameras, my experience reviewing the X100V was quite positive. The X100 series stands out for its enjoyable usage and compelling design, which is what kept drawing me back to the camera. That design isn't just for fun, though, as the X100V is a formidable photographic tool that can adeptly handles challenging situations and deliver high-quality results. All of that is probably why, even two years after its release, it is still hard to track down copies for sale. I will be quite curious to see what Fujifilm has in store for the sixth version. In the meantime, check out the video above for the full rundown from Laing.

Sure, it looks good and all, and seems to be a joy using it, but It's out of stock almost everywhere, so...
Fuji should stop advertising for it if they can't keep up with demand.

Stop advertising something that's an extremely hot item and getting people to pay attention to your brand?

Yes, If some company can't deliver what they promise, at what point is it becoming misleading advertising ?

I found the 100V to be a great travel camera. I sold it shortly after a recent trip to offset the cost of upgrading to the Canon R series. I liked the compactness of 100V for street photography where most people didn’t notice me using it unlike the Canon with a larger lens.
I miss the 100V and intend to buy it again once I convince my wife why I need another camera!

My Fujifilm dealer put me at the top of their waiting list for the X100V replacement. I grew up with Leicas but feel the X100 will provide more for less. I value the similar aesthetic
